Oh Friday, Where Have You Been All Week?

Good morning everyone!  Hope y’all are having a fabulous Friday today 🙂

So, today marks my first product review, unofficial as it might be!  Yesterday when I was visiting Leeann she gave me some samples of GreensFirst superfood powder to try out!  Three of these packets are equal to one serving, which is equal to the antioxidant power of 10 servings of fruits and veggies!   I blended 3 packets up with 1 cup water, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, 1 cup frozen strawberries (they were whole, so maybe ~ 5-10 berries depending on the size), and 1/2 a banana:

I tried my hand at pouring + picture taking (I made sure to move all electronics out of the way first!)

And the finished product was about 2 cups of smoothie in a large, cheap, plactic cup!

So, my thoughts?  The idea of something this healthful makes me happy inside when I am concocting the recipe!  However, this really didn’t live up to my flavor expectations (as in I didn’t really want to taste the flavor!)  It has an almost spearmint-y flavor to it, which kind of clashed with the fruit flavor.  It made it taste almost like medicine, in a weird kind of way.  I still have several packets left, but I’m going to have to find a way to use them where I don’t taste the spearmint as much.

Even though that’s not a glowing review, I’m super thankful to Leeann for letting me take this home and try it!

Now, I only got one question yesterday, but that’s totally OK!  I just wanted to put it out there in case anyone had something specific to ask, but more than anything I wanted to make it known that I am always open to questions about anything from y’all!

I noticed you had beautiful pictures of your nachos from Rock Bottom (btw thanks ALOT, now I want nachos, argh)…do you take your professional camera w you everywhere you go!?

I try to take my camera with me everywhere I go, with the exception of things like skiing, which is when I use my point-and-shoot.  It can be fairly awkward for new people, but I usually just let them know that I have a food blog and that tends to nip the awkwardness in the bud!  Thankfully, all of my friends and family that read the blog are super supportive, and actually encourage me to snap away!

I’m so stoked it’s Friday, and can’t wait to rest up tonight for our travels in the morning.  I’ll be sure to leave some hints tomorrow and see if y’all can guess where I am… 😉


In light of Estela’s post, what’s your favorite Friday end-of-the-week cocktail?  If not, do you have anything fabulous planned for the SuperBowl? I know that a good margarita is my favorite Friday drink (at least today it might be!)

    Powder packets always freak me out You never know what you’re going to get. Your smoothie did look damn good but not sure what to do with spearmint.

    I just came across your blog and I love it! I look forward to following : )

    I recieved some wheat grass for my birthday and just tried it this morning. I was all brave and just mixed it with some water and did a shot of it…..woah…..I will NEVER do that again. I am going to try the smoothie tomorrow and am hoping to be able to hide the taste : ) I love the idea of what the Superfoods do for my body so I am determined to keep at it!

    Mojito is my drink of the moment – or some good ol vino : )

    So excited for the superbowl! 😀 I’m taking the easy route by ordering pizza, but plan on making some chicken skewers, guacamole and a veggie platter too.

    Ooh! My favorite ‘winter’ end of the week cocktail is definitely a ‘hot whiskey’. I know it sounds intense. When I was in Ireland, the family I stayed with introduced it to me! I’m not much of a hard alcohol kind of girl, but these are awesome:

    1 shot Jameson (or cheaper version) Whiskey
    1 C Boiling Water
    1 cinnamon stick
    1 lemon wedge
    1 T Sugar or Sweetner equivalent

    Pour the Jameson and water into a glass. Put the entire cinnamon stick and sugar in and squeeze the lemon in then drop the whole wedge in. Let it sit for a minute. you can either remove the cinnamon stick, or keep it steeping in the glass.

    This is a GREAT winter drink to cozy up by a fire to!

    You are so cute being so excited about your first review-it made my morning.

    A margarita on the rocks no salt is always welcome.

    Happy Friday Heather! It always takes me several tries to get used to those superfood powders.

    I’m gonna think of a question for you 🙂

    Have a great weekend!

    A good margarita will do! My usual drink of choice is a new [dark] beer or wine.

    Bummer about those packets not being that good. I can’t think of anything that would really go with a spearmint flavor… I don’t even think chocolate would be that good with it 🙁

    I think just a glass of good wine is always good on Fridays 🙂

    The smoothie looks delish!!! 🙂 🙂

    I’m gonna look for those packets. The brand I typically buy is almost gone and I like the single serving idea! Thanks!!

    A good Friday drink for me would either be a margarita or just a good ol’ Blue Moon (with an orange slice :-))

    For the super bowl chad and I are heading to our buddy’s Darren parents house in Southlake and Darren’s mother always fixes up tons of food and they have a MASSIVE tv with great pictures and a crazy surround sound system!

Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! 

As we move into goal setting for the new year, may I suggest starting with your physical health? Not to fit the bikini body mold that society normalizes, but to actually BE as healthy as possible. When everything hit the fan for me this year I dug into two things that have been integral to creating positive growth and a healthier mindset: 

1️⃣ my relationship with God
2️⃣ my physical health

What that’s looked like for me on the health front: holding fast to my commitment to whole food nutrition, grace for the days when I choose otherwise, pushing myself to lift heavier in workouts, and taking up running again. 

What’s happened as a result? When I push myself physically, when I choose to practice discipline to do what I know is best for my body, it makes it infinitely easier to choose that same healthy discipline in every other area of life. You want to dominate your goals? Start with your health!
Remember when I blogged about food? 😂 Gosh the Remember when I blogged about  food? 😂 Gosh the past few months have been nuts. I’m still over here figuring out how to eat well without sacrificing my life in the kitchen, and this is a bowl I couldn’t NOT share with y’all. The best thing is that everything is almost always on hand in my fridge, it’s packed with nutrition, and tastes AMAZING!

In the bowl:
-rice mixed with Trader Joe’s Zhoug sauce
-broiled shredded Brussels sprouts
-chickpeas
-baby  arugula
-grilled chicken breast
-Romesco sauce (from Trader  Joe’s but I usually make my own)
-a little  tzaziki sauce

This meal has been on repeat all week, only changing the rice for riced cauliflower and omitting the chickpeas on low carb days. YUM! I find that if I have a variety of roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and a few different sauces on hand I can almost always come up with a great bowl for almost any meal!
It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday y’all! Almost 4 years ago I took a leap of faith and said yes to this job in an effort to create another stream of revenue. I had NO CLUE that it would change my life for the better in almost every way, that it would reignite my passion for health and community, that it would provide in so many beautiful ways. But it has, and I am so thankful to all of you who have trusted me and supported me along the way. 

When you shop with a small business you are literally a hero in their eyes, validating and supporting and protecting them. You guys are my heroes, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day: 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day:

1️⃣ SMILE! Even if you don’t feel like it, smiling (even forcing it to the point of feeling weird) has actually been scientifically proven to improve mood, lower stress, and boost your immune system. I actually recommend doing it awkwardly around other people because it’ll make them smile too 😉

2️⃣ GRATITUDE! Right now, before you talk yourself out of it, say or write 3 things you’re thankful for. Big, small, or in between. In this moment I’m going to say sticky notes, my Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and the Hamilton soundtrack. BOOM!

3️⃣MOVE! Get up off your tush, right now, and move your body. Walk around your house, do some jumping jacks, lock yourself in the bathroom and do a little dance, whatever. This isn’t about looking cool, it’s about giving yourself a better day. 

Things are hard, ambiguity and uncertainty isn’t fun, but we can control ONE THING: ourselves. Praying that you choose to gift yourself a little bit of happiness today! 

Now, tell me below, what’s one thing you’re thankful for RIGHT NOW?
